Huntsman: ‘New Hampshire is it’

Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman suggested on Sunday that if he doesn’t do well in the New Hampshire primary, his bid for the White House would be over.

“If you don’t win New Hampshire, can you stay in this race?” asked David Gregory, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Well, New Hampshire is it,” Huntsman responded. “I mean we're putting everything into New Hampshire, and we're doing it right. New Hampshire is the window through which the people of that state and, indeed, the people of this country get to see, meet and analyze the candidates.”

Earlier in the interview, Huntsman said he had “every confidence” that the efforts his campaign is making in New Hampshire were paying off.

“What is noteworthy is as we go up in the polls in New Hampshire. We've come from zero, and now we're at 10 or 11 in a recent poll, the fundraising has come up about 250 percent,” he said. “As we do better in New Hampshire, we do better fundraising.”
